A Sort Of Homecoming?

Wednesday, 29 July 2015 11:08

After more than six years U2 will return to Holland on 8th September. We are preparing a special welcome. Like the Facebook page to stay up to date. Hopefully our plan succeeds and U2 will play A Sort Of Homecoming.

Lucky number 13

I just bought tickets for my 13th U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour show. I am so happy that I was able to buy GA tickets for London 5. Now all I need is GA for Amsterdam 4.

More U2ieTour

Yesterday I decided to go to Glasgow as well for the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour. I have bought good seats for both shows with view of both stages, the catwalk and the screen. I am curious as to how I will experience this.

Tenth concert

I just bought a good seat for the last show of the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour in London. That means I will be going to ten shows. I am still looking for a ticket (GA, hardcopy) for London 5. Also, I am still looking for two tickets (GA, hardcopy) for Amsterdam 4. Can you help me? Please contact me. Thanks in advance.

15 May: Vancouver, Rogers Arena

The thrill will never be goneFor the second U2 concert in Vancouver we decide not to queue as early as we did for the first concert. At 7:30 am we arrive at the 'GA line’. We get numbers 122 and 123. Later that is corrected to 97 and 98 because some people have not returned to the line. Again the atmosphere is relaxed. It is cooler than the day before, but the weather is still nice.

14 May: Vancouver, Rogers Arena

First experiencesFinally, it is May 14, 2015: the day of the opening of the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015. At 6 am we report at the GA line. People from all over the world travelled to the Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The atmosphere is relaxed.Around 3 pm security moves the line to the actual entrance. That goes smoothly. Before the doors open manager Guy Oseary comes out. He talks with several fans and takes photos. At 6:15 pm the doors finally open.

Reviews & photos are coming!

The review and photos of the Vancouver gigs are coming. Probably online this weekend.

Meeting Bono

Saturday, 16 May 2015 11:03

Tuesday 12th May I arrive in Vancouver. After checking in to my hotel I immediatly go to the Rogers Arena. I meet some people who I met at previous gigs. Cool! We are waiting at the arena hoping to attend the dress rehearsal for the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015. Or to catch a glimpse of the band members. Unfortunately, this does not happen. At about 10.45 pm I return to my hotel exhausted. The next day I find out that Adam appeared at 1.20 am. I was sound asleep by then. The next morning I decide to explore Vancouver a bit. In the afternoon I am going to the arena again. Meanwhile Jean-Paul - with whom I will attend the concerts - has arrived. We get our number for the GA line: 141 and 142. We have to be there that night between 10 pm and 11 pm and 6 am on concert day to prevent getting our names taken of the list. After this we decide to wait for the possible arrival of band members. Suddenly - by then it is about 8.15 pm I think - Brian (Bono's bodyguard) appears. He asks us to remain calm and line up on both sides of the entrance. After some more waiting the Irish frontman appears. We are first in line, but unfortunately he starts signing stuff at the other side of the line. Finally he gets to us and signs two of my cd booklets. Jean-Paul has him sign his new tourbook and Bono is quit impressed by the book. "What is this? It's brilliant!" Apparantly he had not seen the book yet, allthough he signed Lia's copy about a minute before. We cannot pose for photos, but we are very happy with the signatures of and a little chitchat with Bono. This trip to Vancouver is already memorable.

Vancouver here I come!

Sunday, 10 May 2015 21:53

Two more sleeps until I fly to Vancouver for the opening of the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 in the Rogers Arena. I will be attending both shows, so looking forward to it. As usual I will write reviews and take photos. When I am in Vancouver I will try to post some stuff to the Facebook page. When I am back in Holland I will update this site.
